The Foodworks Cookery School offers two different foodie breaks for those
who love to indulge in all things edible. The first is the Quintessential Cotswold
Inn package, which is available for a one-night stay (in the charming
Colesbourne Inn) either midweek or at the weekend. In this package, you’ll
have a full day of cooking ahead of you, plus a full English breakfast to
enjoy. The Cowley Manor Gourmet package is another one-night stay, this
time in the gorgeous Cowley Manor, and as well as a full day’s gourmet
cookery course, you’ll also have full use of the hotel’s fantastic spa facilities
to really make the most of your time away. As well as these ‘foodie breaks’,
the Foodworks Cookery School offers other courses including the University
